    I am well aware of that. But the coating would give it a bit more protection anyway.
    Now I'm not sure what to do, fix it with touch up paint before the coating, fix it properly it just go ahead with the coating anyway...

    If it will annoy you if you don't fix it before coating then there's your decision .....

    Can the detailer repair/buff it out? Or is it too deep?

    Yeah - gotta love the fault-free handling, no matter the conditions. The mags describe it as "clinical", "isolating", "uninvolving" and even "German". What ? And that's after they've blatted on again about the gearbox mistake of 2010.

    The first mark always hurts, you should be ok with a good detailer.

    Looking for a bit of DSG advice.

    This is my first DSG in an R. We have a Passat diesel but it gets driven in D at all times.
    On two occasions in the last month I have felt a big bang through the drive train when changing from 1st to 2nd. On both occasions it’s been pulling away promptly, about 3/4 throttle, with the box in M and I’ve pulled the up paddle at around 4000 to 5000 rpm and BANG. There may have been a slight degree of lock on the steering on both occasions - lane changing. No other DSG issues in 1000 kms.

    When I say Bang, I mean it feels like I’ve hit a brick wall or a drive shaft has fallen out type bang and jolt. Very unpleasant.

    Is this something that they just do from time to time, or should i be talking to the dealer?

    It shouldn't be doing that, does it happen D or S if it's only M still seems strange I would check with your dealer. I find the S in 7.5 DSG is good for most situations.

    When you say 600nm ‘with a tune’, do you mean a tcu tune?

    Minor issue on 7.5R.

    When I first turn on the car I can't change radio channel by steering wheel button for the first min or so (doesn't do anything). I can using the stereo touch screen however. Seems to happen on some starts not all. Normal?
